$250 breaks down to about $20 a month which isn't bad. I've had my little Virgin Mobile phone for years and pay $25 for unlimited text/data but only 300 minutes a month. The phone originally cost $150 so students definitely get a better deal here.

So what constitutes a student?

Must be an active student enrolled in a U.S.-based elementary, middle school,
high school, college, university or accredited institute. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
